to the red planet

We send this not as a mission, but as a moment: a fragment of thought, a folded signal, drifting outward.
There is no claim enclosed. No blueprint. No flag. Only the hope that something softer might arrive first.Before the rockets, before the conquest, before the carbon copy of Earth is etched into your dust,
we offer this: belief, loosely bound.
A presence made not of mass, but meaning.

TextThis site is a speculative project exploring how humans relate to future intelligence, uncertainty, and meaning—using Mars as a narrative environment.

Why Mars?

Mars is more than a planet. It is a stress test for human systems.
It compresses questions we usually avoid:
Who gets to define readiness?
What survives when assumptions fail?
How do belief systems behave under extreme constraints?

What this project explores

I’m interested in how humans evaluate themselves and others in environments where:There is no clear authorityThe rules are incompleteSuccess is undefinedMars is useful because it removes familiar scaffolding. There are no institutions to defer to, no legacy systems to inherit—only assumptions we bring with us.This project is an attempt to examine those assumptions through narrative, interface, and small experiments.

An experiment within the project

As a small experiment, I created a fictional “Martian Registry” — a playful tool that asks people to assess themselves against absurd survival scenarios. The goal isn’t accuracy, but reflection: how people respond when the rules are imaginary but the questions feel real.This project uses Mars as a narrative environment to explore how humans relate to uncertainty, intelligence, and future systems.
